The Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone
6 Plus had
record-breaking pre-orders, and are still flying off shelves even after
all the issues regarding #Bendgate and the plethora of software issues that
came with iOS 8.0.1 and iOS
8.0.2. It seems the controversy is
far from over, though. According to a thread on Apple’s support forums, many iPhone 6 Plus users are having quite the difficult
time with their devices after the iOS
8.1 update.
iPhone 6 Plus 128GB
plagued with bugs
The thread has over 12,000 views and over 80
replies so far, meaning it’s not just a few people facing this problem.
The problem seems to specifically affect 128GB models of the iPhone 6 Plus with over 700 apps installed.
Apparently, these devices have been crashing non-stop, even without user
interaction.
One user recommended doing a fresh restore on the
devices, as well as attempting to open all apps, then closing them all manually
by going to the background app page and swiping up. This user also recommended
that users do a reset on their devices by holding the power and home
buttons down at the same time. However, it doesn’t seem any of these
suggestions have worked for more than a handful of people.
Apple has yet to make an official comment on this
issue, but it appears some have had success bringing their devices to the Apple
Store when it comes to getting it replaced. The issues don’t stop with a
replacement, though, as some of those devices have had issues with crashing and
freezing as well.
Those that haven’t been able to replace
their devices are in constant back-and-forth phone calls with Apple’s tech
support department, and that in itself can be more frustrating than a crashing
smartphone.
As previously mentioned, it’s assumed that this
problem only affects the 128GB model of the iPhone 6 Plus, but it may affect
other devices. We’ll just have to wait and see. Hopefully, a fix comes out for
this sooner than later.
